The document summarizes a summer school on clean maritime transportation to be held in Denmark from August 5-17, 2013. The purpose of the summer school is to engage participants in making maritime transport more environmentally friendly by addressing both issues where shipping is environmentally superior and lacking compared to other modes of transportation. Participants will take part in lectures, case studies, site visits, group projects, and social activities. Topics will include emission reduction technologies, energy efficiency requirements, and environmental management systems. Participants will be evaluated based on a written exam, project report, presentation, and participation. The summer school aims to provide 5 ECTS credits with the option to earn additional credits by submitting a manuscript after completion.

2. PURPOSE
The course will both focus on issues where shipping is environmentally superior to other modes
of transportation and issues where shipping is lacking behind.
The course main objective is to engage participants in the on-going activities, challenges and
opportunities arising from the evolution towards a more environmentally friendly maritime
sector. To achieve this, the course is structured under the Problem Based Learning model
developed at Aalborg University to address real-life problems in a hands-on way. The course
provides theoretical lectures, case-study lectures, site visits and group projects during the two
weeks summer course. In addition, the course will also comprise several social activities in
order to facilitate networking and a relaxed environment. Leading scientific experts and
practitioners in the maritime sector have accepted invitations to give guest speeches. The first
days will be organized as open days to industry participants to allow interaction and
networking with decision makers.
BACKGROUND
After decades of non-regulation, the maritime industry is now facing relatively tough
environmental requirements from both regulators and the market. The International Maritime
Organisation (IMO) has passed annexes to the MARPOL convention which together with EU
and US legislation put pressure on shipping. The summer school will address the on-going
regulatory updates taking place at the IMO and European level.
Fortunately, the combination of strict requirements and decades of land-based experiences in
CleanTech gives huge business opportunities for those who can and will provide solutions to
the problems – some of these solution providers are Danish companies. Some ports and
municipalities even see the upcoming legislative pressures as a lever of regional development
and employment.
